A Villain Makes a Good Valentine
On Valentine’s day a teenage boy came home from a date with his girlfriend, showed off his Valentine’s day loot and asked my friends and I who were marking the occasion by watching a DVD together, why we didn’t like Valentine’s day.
Our responses varied from: too commercialized, too much pressure, too many expectations, people should say ‘I love you’ everyday not just on Valentine’s day and so on. The teenage boy looked at us like we were crazy, bitter and cynical nuts. Obviously we back peddled quickly. We explained that Valentine’s day, love and romance was all wonderful, we just didn’t care for how commercialized the holiday had become.
And then we got back to our Valentine’s date with a villain… Brad Pitt as Jesse James.
Boy does Brad make a hot cowboy!
A villain makes a good Valentine when it’s Brad Pitt.
